This Poem is dedicated to all those who have lost their
lives in Orlando Carnage in the hands of hatred and violence.

HOW LONG THE GUNS

How long the Guns 
Would continue to excrete
Their stream of hatred and death
How long the innocents 
Would continue to be the target 
Of those
Who were born like humans 
With the same sweet heart
Which beats and breaths
Similarly like a heart full of love
But now some of these have converted 
Into nothing but the statue of stones 
Which likes the sounds of killing 
And hatred only. 01
 
From where this much of hatred 
Has emerged
In such human minds and hearts
To convert it into a barren land only
Where grows the culture of hatred
Violence and death
On every branch of its thinking and deeds. 02

These very minds too  
 Were made by the same almighty God
Who gave us the gift of life and love
And of kindness and compassion for all 
To spread love and peace
Benevolence and compassion
To sing the song of happiness and joy
Even when the darkness surrounds
They were taught to pray and sing
The Song of love and compassion for all. 03

Are we on the right track? 
To give birth to such human minds
Where love has lost 
Its ways and roots
To shape rightly the minds and hearts 
So that these distracted souls 
Have become heartless like stones
And try to seek peace of mind
In killing the innocents
Thinking that this the aim of their life
Or we need to ponder
On what actually went wrong
Which needs to change our ways and means
Which has given birth 
To such unquenched hatred and 
A life of death and killings and killings. 04

Do we need? 
To call once again
Some Buddha and Jesus
Or we need 
To change our upbringing?
By giving more love and care to our children
To bring back these lost souls
On the track of love and kindness
So that the world may live and flourish
In the harmony of peace and happiness. 05
